 Swim
Comments: started out to the right next to a few good women swimmers and did well. no congestion. past one of the women early but she ended up passing my b/c i kept going right and had to veer back each time i spotted the bouy. What would you do differently?: sight better and stick closer to the bouy line  Transition 1
Comments: ran with shoes this time as distance from rack to mount line pretty short. What would you do differently?: just need to get faster b/c the others in my group can do it  Bike
Comments: hit bike hard and tried not to let up. passed a couple women who beat me out of the water and then that was it. one guy caught me midway and made me feel like i wasnt moving. near the back stretch of the course i could see a large group ahead but could never bridge the gap and think i may have lost a handful of seconds to them at the end. What would you do differently?: not much. felt like i really pushed. did hit the small ring once near the end and feel it cost me some time to the pack i was chasing. Transition 2
Comments: good transition but need to get my shoes on quicker and run harder to leave. What would you do differently?: get faster like the others  Run
Comments: run felt great. hit first mile at 6min and felt like the pace was doable for the next 2 but then the stomach went to crap. i really thought a was going to loose control of my bowels. by the time i hit the turnaround i felt like dropping out since there was no port o potty. it really sucked b/c there were 2 guys i know i could have caught and one chasing me i might have been able to hold off but by mile 2 i had stopped twice and was crossing the road to chit in the trees and bushes. problem was people were coming and i couldnt get over a barbed wire fence so i crossed back over and started running again. the last mile was all about What would you do differently?: pray i dont have bowel movements on the run so i can run like i know i can. i take pride in catching people on the run and today that didnt happen. i am looking forward to a better run at the austin tri! Post race
